In a private meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson last week, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused fellow Georgia Republican Rep. Richard McCormick of getting physically aggressive with her, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter – a charge that McCormick has denied, saying it was a “friendly gesture.”

He looks sooo friendly. Not that I’m defending him but even an angry little crap stirring homunculus like Marge deserves a safe work environment (not that she creates one).

I'm sure the homoerotic tension on the Tucker Carlson set is palpable. Testicle tanning and all that. |

That one I give a genuine pass to based on the information available so far. His mother was trying to get him on an inpatient hold and he got into the driver’s seat and rammed through the ambulance bay doors. |

Corruption thread favorite Ken Paxton, who has been Texas AG with a salary of around $150,000 since 2015, owns ten properties worth a total of more than $6 million. His securities fraud trial starts in April.
“Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has bought at least six properties out-of-state, including land in Hawaii and Utah, three homes in Florida and a lodge in Oklahoma. He has yet to disclose any of them on his state-mandated ethics reports. https://www.kut.org/politics/2023-12-07/ken-paxton-texas-attorney-general-personal-finance-reports |

He killed a police officer. I don't give it a pass. Maybe Republican Senators should not block efforts to improve mental health care in this country. |

Ooooh Matt Gaetz still may suffer consequences from his molesting teenaged girls.
“GOP lawmakers, the Republican said, are much more “excited” to expel Gaetz than Santos if the House Ethics Committee releases a report that is just as damning for Gaetz as it was for the Long Island Republican.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2023/12/07/matt-gaetz-house-republicans-whisper-expelling-george-santos/71840867007/ |

Not sure why North Dakota isn’t giving Senator Cramer’s son the same treatment as their Attorney General got, but they just charged him with felony manslaughter.

DeSantis’ campaign interactions with super PACs raised internal legal concerns
“DeSantis’ team shared those messaging concerns with members of Never Back Down’s board, which includes Florida-based members with close ties to the governor, according to multiple people briefed on the discussions. Some of the board members then relayed the DeSantis team’s wishes to super PAC staff, which was responsible for executing strategy, the people said. Federal laws prohibit coordination between presidential campaigns and outside groups.” https://apnews.com/article/desantis-pac-never-back-down-campaign-violation-fa2238e79fa48e18962accfc071278a2 |

“Trammell Crow Jr., a Texas philanthropist and the brother of Republican mega-donor Harlan Crow, must face a lawsuit that accuses him of running and participating in a sex trafficking ring, a judge ruled.
Trammell Crow is one of more than 100 people and businesses that took part in the alleged trafficking and racketeering enterprise, according to the suit, brought by two women who say they were its victims. The two claim they were drugged, physically abused, threatened and forced to perform sex acts, and that Crow played a key role in providing financing for the scheme.” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-21/texas-philanthropist-trammell-crow-to-face-sex-trafficking-suit |
